The Other Website in My Life

Hello again.  It's me.  The woman who is horrible at blogging.  I have to admit it is because I have another website love affair.  With Pinterest.  I LOVE PINTEREST!  It gives me such good ideas.  None of which I have actually done yet...but....


So I decided to finally post again by sharing some of my favorite pins so far.  I will try to limit myself.

I LOVE this outfit so much.  I am feeling the peacock thing lately and this is so simple and cute.  I just bought an amazing brown leather jacket so all I need are the boots, scarf, and ear rings.  This is happening ASAP.

I recently started knitting so I don't think I could make this, but my good friend (who is an excellent knitter and better blogger than myself [read it]) could probs make this (for me).  I think it is adorable.  Even though I don't drink coffee, I love hot chocolate!

I want this framed and in my house immediately.

I really like this idea for my dining room table.  So simple and I could actually do it myself.  Now how to keep the cats from drinking/knocking/eating it....

Had to share my recent peacock find.  Could never paint this myself but I am loving it for my dining room chairs.

I am slightly addicted to tattoos.  It takes me awhile to find something I love enough to permanently put it on my body.  But once I do, I have to get it.  This one is Latin and translates to, "She flies with her own wings."  I would get it on the outside of my right foot, not my wrist (already have one there).

And I will leave you with just a couple of my favorite quotes.

Appropriate Comment? Or Back-Handed Compliment?

So a few months ago a friend and I were talking about some of our high school classmates.  One of these classmates is getting married soon and we started discussing her fiance.  My friend asked me what I thought of this lady's fiance and I said, "Well, he's not ugly."  Now, this statement startled my friend and she nearly fell out of her chair laughing.  Which was unintentional on my part.  It was a very honest comment and I actually meant it as a good thing.  He is not ugly.  My friend thought it was actually an insult and just a way to mask saying, "he aint cute."  I did not mean it that way but it does sound funny...

Anyway-at work today my wonderful co-worker (check her out) and I thought up other scenarios where the statement, "Well, (it/he/she/they) are/is not ugly," would fit in nicely.  Here is what we came up with:

• Do you like my (sweater/shirt/shoes/dress/etc.)?
• Look at my baby!
• This is my husband/wife.
• I got engaged!  Here is the ring.
• I got a new haircut.

Can you think of any other scenarios?
